Are you still playing Minecraft, it has already broken down?
Where else, except in the Youtube hype, did Minecraft mine?
With 90 million players every month, you can hardly argue that.
Personally, I also think that the servers with players have the active play mainly the big server, I think the player rate has gone back, but I suspect that the Fortnite hype is falling and now some players play more Minecraft.
What is your opinion on this subject?
The big servers have lost players because they are just boring. That's why people do not listen to Minecraft. Years ago, I was no longer on the big server every day. Minecraft I still play everyday. Whether Modpacks or Vanilla, the main thing with friends. The public hype has gone back, no question, but that did not hurt the game.
I have no opinion on Fortnite. Battle Royale does not interest me.
Since I give you quite the game itself is not harmed Thank you for the opinion
Representation of false facts. Since you have expressed it in general, you have to see it in general, and your statement is unfortunately wrong.
Minecraft may have fallen in the case of Youtube popularity (but I have no figures if that's true at all)
But Minecraft (on all platforms and also with mods) has not decreased throughout
If I still play MC only 1.8.X or modded 1.7.10, I think it's a pity what happened to the game, I've been playing it a lot and actually every day since 2011, but since the 1.9 I think it's a kiddie game become, I still had the hope that the big servers boycott this version, but unfortunately all have updated and so came out with more and more versions, I think they are not bad, I mean new end, new Nether, finally an underwater world. The point is and remains the PvP, despite plugins that prevent the cooldown, it is simply not the same. And if you still look at the update speed, until the 1.8 so without the Mojang to Microsoft has kahm every year a good full version out, now are sometimes updated after 2 months, clearly more is possible with Microsoft, maybe sit more Devs at the game, but the original team is not there for the most part, well, everything has an end.
In the meantime, I actually only program 1.8 plugins, but I do not really play myself very often.

I think you do not know how long 2 months are.
PVP has not changed on the big servers. None of the known servers uses + 1.9 PVP, on virtually all comes with 1.8 still on it.
And always this totally wrong Microsoft argument. Microsoft is exactly 0% in the development of Minecraft Java Edition. This is still done by Mojang and still the same old Jeb team. Only Notch is missing, but he has not worked on Minecraft years before the sale. Microsoft only develops the mobile versions, the consoles and the Windows 10 edition.
Programming 2 months is absolutely low for a full version and the PvP has changed, 1.9er players have cooldown disadvantages compared to 1.8er players, no matter if a plugin is present or not, these plugins suppress the cooldown only!
